Re: just arrived in Greece now PP want to stamp dekpa monthly

Should I just go to PP in Poros and just ask for the new one and say I just arrived from Italy or say I did not sail last year .

As we all know, every PP office treats these issues in a different way. However, I would most definitely not make up an untrue story, these things have a habit of catching you out. My experience is that if you plead ignorance the PP are very sympathetic and will almost certainly not give you a hard time.

Indeed, so much of the bureaucracy in Greece can be traced to either the Byzantine systems or the Ottoman systems. IMO part of Greece's problems is that they didn't have an Ataturk to drag them kicking and screaming into the 20th Century.
